That's cool I always enjoy seeing critters on the course. There is a fox that lives on the 10th hole at the home course, unbelievably tame, walks right up to you.

Was out for a friendly round of 18 and saw this guy. He looked really scared and I felt bad just leaving him there, but what could I do?!

Cute. The mom is probably not too far away.

We saw baby skunks the a few weeks ago. They had the instinct to spray, but didn't have the tools yet. Of course, it would just be my luck to have the one early bloomer. :-X

I usually like wildlife on the course except one I played last summer in south Alabama. Apparently they have a water moccasin problem. One of those suckers slithered out from a bush close to my ball hissing the entire way to the lake. The bush was behind my back, so needless to say, my next shot sucked pretty bad. Furry critters good. Mean critters BAD.

My son and I saw a baby deer the other day. It came out of the woods to get a drink in the creek, and ran off when it spotted us.

U saying this is gonna make me re-watch. Dead Solid Perfect, a very underrated old golf movie with Randy Quaid. The scene where he's mad as he'll about missin putt and then wife talking about a cute deer is so friggin perfect

Grew up on a farm. Had a pet raccoon and pet fox. Got them both as babies before their eyes opened. Mother was killed. Absolutely terrific pets. Very smart. Very lovable.

I saw three white tail deer this week during our league play.   They are protected in the park and aren't afraid of the golfers.  We were within 20 yards of them.

This scene is very common at a course near me that's part of a gigantic park. In fact, there's almost no chance you'll play an entire round without encountering something like this. Those deer are wild blacktails, but have adapted to the point where they don't have too much fear of people.

They'll pay no attention to a ball that bounces or rolls up to where they're feeding, then they'll graciously step aside to allow you to hit your next shot.

Here's the picture of the baby skunks I saw on the course. Note that one of them was attempting to spray, just not matured enough yet.

We regularly see deer and foxes on our course.   Occasionally, we will see a quail or two.   But the strangest thing I have seen so far was a wild pig...........     It ran off when it saw us coming, which was a good thing since they can be quite mean.

When box grooves were legal I had a problem spinning my approach shots off greens (sometimes)...here is one instance. Hit the ground with my 4 iron about 8-10 ft away and he walked into the water so I could play my shot. I guess growing up in Florida were used to big gators.

Furry critters good. Mean critters BAD.

Other day was playing my home course and topped my 2nd shot and it rolled down to the edge of a creek that runs in front of the green.  Just as I got to the creek saw one of those bastards sunning himself on a rock in the creek, he saw me and slithered underneath the rock.  Don't think my ball went into the hazard but had no desire to find it at that point.  Slowly moved back a good 40 yards and dropped another one.  Didn't assess myself any penalty strokes as I figure the lost distance paired with my shaky nerves on the next shot was penalty enough.  :)

I know its horrible but I was young and dumb so I will write it off at that. My home course in highschool had turkeys, deer, and elk everywhere. The elk they dont mess around they take off.. The deer just hang, and the turkeys...um the turkeys where the most annoying thing ever. We would drop a couple of extra balls just to whack at em because they were such a nusance and annoying tearing up the greens and crapping all over the course.

Its not the dreams in the recesses of you mind, its the approach and how you go at it Roddy

I've seen a few critters but not many. This little creature was hopping along and stopped just long enough to say hi: And this four legged creature decided hanging out on the green was fun:

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
